THE VOLUNTEER WINS.
The First OF the International Yacht Races
Results in a Glorious Victory for the Yankee
SlOOp.

between the Scotch cutter Thistle and the
American sloop Volunteer was sailed the
9th, over tn ainside course OF the New York
Yacht club, as required by the deed OF gift
governing tho possession OF the cup and the
Yankee sloop won in fine style. The dis
tance sailed was thirty eight miles. There
was not wind enough to start the boats until
two hours after the time announced
In the official programme. When it came
it was light, but there was enough to en-
able the yachts to complete the course well
within the time limited-in fact with
two hours to spare. 1t was just the kind
OF weather which admirers OF the Thistle
had predicted would mean victory for the
Scotch boat. 1t was lust the sort OF
weather which admirers OF the Volunteer
most dreaded. Under these circum-
stances nobody would have been surpris-
ed had the Thistle won. Everybody ex-
pected at least close race. But after the
first twenty minutes it no race at all.

falling further and further astern. From
start to finsih the Thistle stood no chance
OF winning. The Volunteer went over the
course in / h. 53 min 8 sec. The Thistle s
time was 5 h. - min. 46 sec. Thus the
Thistle was beaten by 10 min. rs sec. or,
after crediting her with the five seconds
time allowance due her, by . min. 20 sec.
The Volun teer beat the foreigner so badly
that the latters most enthusiastic cham

Thistle. 1t was great day.

an area OF fifty or more acres on the wa

the race that startled the people who
came from Europe to see tn eevent.

The Socialists will Abandon Force i.

A Chicago socialist leader is reported as
making the following statement regarding
the situation:
The Internationalists under the leader
ship OF Burnet G. Haskell OF Denver, form
erly OF San Francisco, have for years steadi-
ly opposed all the work and methods OF
the Socialist Labor party. They held that
the only method by which the present So
cial system could be overthrown was by
force. Theirgrea test strength is on the Pa
siic coast and inDenver. and they are Ameri-
cans almost to man. The Socialist Labor
party is organized for the purpose OF bring.
ing about socialism, but by different
methods from those advocated by Haskell
and his followers. Their plan is education
and political action. The first thing that
will be done will be to establish first
class English daily paper in every large
city in the United Statos. These papers
will form press association OF their own.
Our plan OF campaign from now on will be
education. The money that has been
spent inthe past on politics will after this be
devoted to scholastic literature. All talk
OF a revolution will be stopped. The ma
jority OF us recognize the fact that revolu-
tions can not be made to order, but are OF
spontaneous growth"

IL Is understood that there is now

that the county treasurer cannot too

it would remain at par.
